Draft:List of Forge FC seasons

For club records see List of Forge FC records and statistics.

Forge FC is a Canadian professional soccer club based in Hamilton, Ontario, that competes in the Canadian Premier League (CPL), the top tier of the Canadian soccer league system. The club joined the CPL in 2019 as one of the league's seven inaugural teams.[1] Seasons usually run from April to October, with teams playing 28 matches each, followed by playoffs culminating in a championship final. The champions are awarded the North Star Cup and the regular season winner is awarded the CPL Shield; both teams earn berths in the next season's CONCACAF Champions Cup.[2] Forge is the CPL's most successful team, having won four league titles (2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023) and one regular season title (2021).[3][4]

Forge competes annually in the Canadian Championship, Canada's premier knockout cup competition; the club's best result came in the 2020 edition when they finished as runners-up.[5] Internationally, Forge has competed twice in the CONCACAF Champions Cup[a] and three times in the now-defunct CONCACAF League, reaching that competition's semi-final in 2021.[6]
